EDU20005: Sustainable Education and Perspectives Assignment 2: Report

This assignment is asking you to take a leap forward to your role as the leader of a newly developed environmental sustainability team at a K–6 school. Prior to the establishment of this team, the educational setting has not had a focus on sustainability. A number of staff have been resistant to the inclusion of sustainable initiatives due to concerns over workload and an already 'crowded curriculum'. You've been asked to work with your team to develop a variety of school-wide initiatives that integrate concepts of sustainability and formalise this thinking into a professional report.

The purpose of this report is to on-board staff, inform families, guide teachers and students, and make the community aware of the aims and practices of the school. Formalising this thinking and practice means that this report can also be used for award and grant applications to demonstrate the schools progress and commitment to environmental sustainability.
